Reception

PopMatters criticized the album's lack of originality, writing that it sounded similar to "other over-played “punk” groups on MTV", and described Chambers' voice as "whiny", but concluded that "you could do worse than Forbidden Meat."[1] Alex Henderson of AllMusic gave the album a positive retrospective review, writing that "is funnier, more clever, and more memorable than what much of the competition had to offer in 2001."[3]

The album was commercially successful in the United States and Japan.[2]
